Use the Insert | Parameter Change | Probe | Fast Probe Mode menu item to insert a FASTPROBEMODE/OFF command into the Edit window. To enable Fast Probe Mode, after you insert this command, highlight OFF and press F8 to change it to ON.
This probing mode applies to analog scanning probes when taking individual hits rather than scanning. When it is ON, it provides a significant reduction in the time required to take individual hits. The biggest reduction in time occurs when the probe retracts from the part.
Some probe types (such as the SP25) do not support Fast Probe Mode. Some machines do not support Fast Probe Mode regardless of the probe type. If you have a measurement routine with the FASTPROBEMODE/ON command in it, but your probe type or machine does not support it, the command does nothing.
